Doctor Visit

Finally, we've had a enough of Garrett's excessive spitting up! He has been spitting up at least half of his food at every feeding, which results in a big mess, lots of changes of clothes and bibs, and constant feedings. So, we took him to the dr yesterday to get things checked out. The good news is that he is still growing despite the spitting up. He has gained almost 2 lbs in less than a month and now weighs 12 lbs 5 oz and is 24 1/4 inches long! Since the spitting up is not affecting his growth, the dr said we could try a different formula for supplementing to see if it helped. It's supposed to sit heavier in his belly so that it doesn't come back up. I will still nurse him, but we will use the formula too if it seems to help him. The next option would be to put him on Prevacid. So, we will see how the next week or two goes!

Since we were all there, we asked them to weigh and measure Walker too. He now weighs 13 lbs and is 24 3/4 inches long! He has continued to out pace Garrett with his growth, but hopefully his brother will catch up as soon as he starts keeping his food down. I can't believe they will be 3 months old on Friday! Crazy!

In other news, our nanny seems to be doing great so far. We both dropped in to visit Monday around lunch time and the boys were dressed, Walker was sleeping peacefully and Garrett was laying on his pillow with her talking to him. They both had some time on their play mats and she has been reading them stories. All of this while straightening up around the house. So far, so good!
